I am training with FitnessBlender for quite some time now and I have done various programs and challenges. I have also read some articles for this issue but I was wondering if maybe someone out there was struggling with it and have found a reasonable solution.
I am 28 and I have never had any problems with my hips, however (and maybe this is my main problem) my job is pretty sedentary. I work from home as a graphic designer. I try to get up from the computer and move around for about 5-10 minutes every hour or so. And since I started doing that I don’t have any hip or low back pain. However, I need some tips and suggestions on how to improve the range of motion in my hips. For example, I’m doing some pilates workout and there are hydrants in it and I want to do them properly but my legs open to no more than about 45° (at the best of times). Now obviously if my entire lower section rotates with the leg I have more range of motion but that’s not the point (right?). I also have limited range of motion when trying to do side leg raises (which I guess is again connected to the range of motion on my hips). I should probably point out that there is no pain in the area, it’s just frustrating that I have SO limited range.
I was wondering if some of you have faced similar problem and how you’ve dealt with it and maybe some suggestions on how to improve this.
Working the hips range and mobility
Hey, everyone!
